FBI revives D.B. Cooper skyjack mystery
Man jumped from flight with $200,000 in 1971
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The FBI is making a new stab at identifying mysterious skyjacker Dan Cooper, who bailed out of an airliner in 1971 and vanished, releasing new details that it hopes will jog someone’s memory.
The man calling himself Dan Cooper, also known as D.B. Cooper, boarded a Northwest flight in Portland, bound for Seattle on the night of Nov, 24, 1971, and commandeered the plane, saying that he had dynamite.
In Seattle, he demanded and was given $200,000 and four parachutes, and demanded to be flown to Mexico. Somewhere over southwestern Washington, he jumped out the plane’s tail exit with two of the parachutes. Yesterday, the FBI released drawings that it said are probably close to what Cooper looked like, and a map of areas where he might have landed.
